本文认为，技术创新正在改变信息的流动，社会行动的流动性，并产生了新的自下而上的创新形式，能够扩展和爆炸旧的再生产和抵抗理论，因为“聪明的暴徒”，“街头知识”和“社会运动”不能被强大的结构性力量以同样的旧方式所抵消。本文的目的是发展YPAR 2.0的概念，在这个概念中，新技术使年轻人能够以创新的方式利用当地知识，深化公民参与，使数据民主化，扩大教育机会，为政策提供信息，并动员社区资产，从而可视化、验证和改变社会不平等。具体来说，这篇文章记录了数字技术（包括名为streettwyze的移动、地图和短信平台以及纸质地图工具Local Ground）如何与“地面真相”（一种社区成员与研究人员合作收集和验证“公共”数据的方法）相结合，引发了东奥克兰的一场食品革命，从而提高了年轻人的自尊、环境管理、学术参与、并将城市青年定位为社区领袖和社区建设者，他们与社区保持联系，并致力于社区的健康和福祉。本文概述了YPAR 2.0模型是如何开发的，并为未来的研究和青年、教师、社区领袖和青年服务组织之间的合作提供了建议和启示。
This article argues that technological innovation is transforming the flow of information, the fluidity of social action, and is giving birth to new forms of bottom up innovation that are capable of expanding and exploding old theories of reproduction and resistance because ‘smart mobs’, ‘street knowledge’, and ‘social movements’ cannot be neutralized by powerful structural forces in the same old ways. The purpose of this article is to develop the concept of YPAR 2.0 in which new technologies enable young people to visualize, validate, and transform social inequalities by using local knowledge in innovative ways that deepen civic engagement, democratize data, expand educational opportunity, inform policy, and mobilize community assets. Specifically this article documents how digital technology (including a mobile, mapping and SMS platform called Streetwyze and paper-mapping tool Local Ground) – coupled with ‘ground-truthing’ – an approach in which community members work with researchers to collect and verify ‘public’ data – sparked a food revolution in East Oakland that led to an increase in young people’s self-esteem, environmental stewardship, academic engagement, and positioned urban youth to become community leaders and community builders who are connected and committed to health and well-being of their neighborhoods. This article provides an overview of how the YPAR 2.0 Model was developed along with recommendations and implications for future research and collaborations between youth, teachers, neighborhood leaders, and youth serving organizations.
